About Lisa Ross

Lisa is a classically trained fine art photographer and master printer. She has enjoyed a long and eventful career as a photographer and has photographed landscapes in over 100 countries, including adventuring to remote, dangerous locations while also braving challenging elements. 

Artist Statement

Lisa Ross is an award winning writer and fine art photographer. A graduate of the University of Southern California in Communications, she trained in the fine art of photography at the prestigious Hamilton High Photography Department in Los Angeles. It was there that Ansel Adams and Bob Willoughby awarded her top honors.

An allergy to darkroom chemicals led her down a different path, first as a psychotherapist and then as a political writer and consultant. Her commentaries have appeared in the nation’s top newspapers and on radio. Her widely read column, The Ross Retort, was the recipient of numerous San Diego Press Club awards and honors from the Society of Professional Journalists.

The dawn of the digital darkroom brought Lisa back to fine art photography shooting in the world’s most visually interesting places.

Now considered a Master Printer, she achieves the feel of a painting while retaining the immediacy of the photograph, using original digitized negatives or digital images printed with Ultrachrome archival pigment on large-sized canvas.

“I want the work to hang in spaces where people live, so the pieces must be decorative and at the same time evoke an instant of time and place.”

Lisa travels the world for inspiration. Available works cover all seven continents. As she likes to say,"If you are looking for a piece from a favorite place, call me."

Testimonials

I purchased a couple pieces of landscape art from MK Envision and was impressed with the selection, the staff, and their customer service. Highly recommend."

"This was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Kelsey & Michelle helped us to select the best photo from several choices, and then they created a mock up of our photo on our unusually shaped wall area. We were really pleased with the result and have had lots of complements on it."

I had been searching for almost two years for wall art to hang above my sofa, and one day, I googled modern coastal wall art and a couple of clicks in, found MK Envision Galleries! I had been waiting to find the perfect piece, and I did. I saw "Shore Break At Sunrise" and it immediately spoke to me, so I knew almost instantly that I would be buying it. I was certain it would be as beautiful in person as it looked online (and it is) but had a couple of questions before committing to the purchase. Response time was quick, communication was informative, fun and professional...Start to finish, just an awesomely great experience!
